Why Levando Designs and Manufactures Its Batteries in Quebec: Behind the Scenes of a Value Chain Built for Your Results
July 31, 2026 · 6 min
Global sourcing, an in-house BMS, and rigorous assembly in Quebec City: behind the scenes of the Levando value chain, certified by Les Produits du Québec.
In the energy storage industry, the global trend is toward mass outsourcing. Many companies order standardized enclosures from overseas and simply manage inventory.
At Levando, we chose a radically different path: cutting-edge engineering and assembly, done right here in our Quebec City facilities.
This approach is now officially recognized: our products are proudly certified as designed and manufactured in Quebec by Les Produits du Québec. For an outfitting camp manager, an off-grid site operator, or an owner of a self-sufficient cabin, this industrial choice translates into one thing: a system with absolute reliability that will never let you down.
Step 1: Global Sourcing of the Best Components (Grade A)
Let's be transparent: lithium battery cells are not mined or refined in Quebec. Our expertise begins with an uncompromising international selection process.
- The process: we scan global markets to select, test, and import exclusively top-tier components, including Grade A lithium battery cells
- Why this approach: Grade A cells represent the pinnacle of global manufacturing — perfect energy density, maximum thermal stability, and near-zero degradation over time
- The concrete result for you: the best of global technology, hand-picked by engineers here at home, with no compromise on your system's base quality
Step 2: Local Intelligence (a BMS Designed by Us)
An excellent cell is nothing without a brilliant brain to run it. This is where our local team's expertise really shines.
- The technical choice: rather than buying an off-the-shelf generic battery management system (BMS), we install our own high-quality BMS, fully designed and programmed by our team in Quebec City
- Why this approach: a standard BMS doesn't know how to react to a North Shore winter or the complex load variations of a commercial solar installation
- The concrete result for you: an intelligent battery that can self-protect, manage its temperature predictively, and maximize its lifespan (over 8,000 cycles) — this local brain is what lets our systems integrate seamlessly and automate major energy fleets like the one at Sépaq
Step 3: Meticulous Assembly and Rigorous Quality Control
Once the best components have been imported and our technology integrated, our qualified technicians step in at our Quebec City workshop for surgical assembly: imported Grade A cells → in-house BMS integration → meticulous assembly → rigorous testing → certification.
- The process: every module is carefully hand-assembled. Connections, thermal insulation, vibration isolation — nothing is left to chance. Each unit then undergoes full charge/discharge cycles, stress tests, and failure simulations
- Why this approach: remote-area transport and off-grid conditions leave no room for error — a single loose bolt or a poorly calibrated overseas cell can paralyze your operations hundreds of kilometers from the nearest repair shop
- The concrete result for you: the assurance of a rugged product, individually validated by a human expert you can call directly with any question
Proximity: More than a Certification, a Guarantee for the Future
Choosing a product certified by Les Produits du Québec means investing in a close relationship. When you work with Levando, you're not buying a product from an anonymous shipping container. You're buying the peace of mind of knowing that the designers, engineers, and technical support team share your time zone, understand your reality, and are based nearby to support you for the next 20 years of your system's life.
